Ray Chen (violin) & Noreen Polera (piano)

After winning two of the world's biggest violin competitions in the last couple of years, this talented young player releases his new album, featuring x10 recordings. These are some of his personal favourites & include works by Bach, Wieniawski, Tartini & Franck. Strong press support across Gramophone "One To Watch", other classical music mags & broadsheets.

“I was charmed by Chen's emphasis on delicacy and beauty in Tartini's Devil's Trill, avoiding the temptation to go for the wow factor. It's a preference he demonstrates throughout; in the Wieniawski Variations he generates tremendous power and control in the virtuoso passages, but then introduces a tone of sweet intimacy. [The Franck] is mature and emotionally developed.” Classic FM Magazine

“He gives the impression that violin playing comes easily to him, even when the music is technically complex, but he's also a thoughtful player, able to captivate the listener...With Wieniawski Chen is in his element...However, the most impressive part of the recital is surely the Franck. Here is a passionate, uninhibited account, but also a meticulous one” Gramophone Magazine, February 2011

“this new violinist plays with a maturity that scarcely suggests someone still only 21...colours dance, moods swing, and Chen’s artistry blazes. Hurrah, too, for Noreen Polera’s suave piano accompaniment.” The Times, 5th February 2011 ****

The Royal Academy of Music celebrates the virtuoso with this disc inspired by the Paris Conservatoire's ultimate accolade. The core of the disc is music commissioned by the Conservatoire: a clutch of masterpieces from near the turn of the 20th -century by Debussy and Enescu, mid-century competition set-pieces by Jolivet and Dutilleux and a late example of the genre by Dubois. The cream of recent Academy students also explore changing conceptions of virtuosity in France over a longer period with works by Mozart, Wieniawski and Ravel, and the disc closes with Baasvik’s remarkable solo tuba piece Fnugg. The disc features performances by some of the most exceptionally talented virtuosi to have recently studied at the Royal Academy of Music. Accordionist Ksenija Sidorova has already won numerous awards; Adam Walker was appointed Principal Flute with the London Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of 21 and soon afterwards became Principal Flute of the London Symphony Orchestra; Huw Morgan was the youngest ever winner of both the International Trumpet Guild Solo and Orchestral competitions; clarinettist Anna Hashimoto made her Barbican solo debut at the age of 15 and has now given numerous recitals of solo and chamber music at Wigmore Hall; bassoonist Karen Geoghegan made her BBC Proms debut in 2009 and has made several recordings with Chandos; Jaroslaw Nadrzycki won the 2009 George Enescu International Violin Competition and has made numerous concerto appearances; Suzie Thorn has been principal oboe with the National Youth Orchestra, the Britten-Pears Orchestra and the European Union Youth Orchestra in addition to solo performing; Mariangela Vacatello was a prizewinner at the ‘Top of the World’ Piano Competition 2009 and Finalist at the Van Cliburn Competition 2009, where she won the Worldwide Audience Award; and Sasha Koushk-Jalali has performed across Europe as Principal Tuba with the Mahler Youth Orchestra. The pianists Albina Stulpinaite, Tadashi Imai, John Reid, Robin Davis, Jacob Barnes and Chris Hopkins continue the Academy's unsurpassed tradition of the very finest accompaniment performances.
